[wp-hackers] Hello, new developer with a question

[Andy Staines]

Well maybe I am doing something wrong - or, more likely - I have  
misinterpreted the question, but this works for me

function sf_admin_menu()
{		
	add_menu_page('Simple Forum', 'Forum', 8, 'sf-adminforums.php');
	add_submenu_page('sf-adminforums.php', 'Manage Forum', 'Manage  
Forums', 8, 'sf-adminforums.php');
	add_submenu_page('sf-adminforums.php', 'Manage Options', 'Manage  
Options', 8, 'sf-adminoptions.php');
}

gives a different 'name' to the first menu item even if it runs the  
same function.
Am  I wrong?
Andy
